8:37 am
this weekend n. oakland, the turnout was unprecedented. people started lining up for hours before the event began in oakland. the line stretching for blocks in east oakland. everyone came to exchange their firearms. they get $200 cash for each working gun they turned in and for a lot of people, connecticut was very much on their mind. >> it just puts whole gun violence at a different perspective and makes everything real. >> the guns off of the streets, our grandkids or some kids can't get the guns and go out and kill somebody. >> just as cars were lining up for the buyback, ironically gun fire hit four people a few blocks away at international and 85 th in oakland in broad daylight. also, a long line in san francisco yesterday. had a gun buyback there and the police worked with community groups to get the word out about that program and so many people respond said they ran out of money and had to give

8:39 am
the tragedy in newtown has t of people wondering if it's
8:40 am
8:41 am
time for tougher gun contro but is public sentiment . the tragedy in newtown has a lot of people wondering if it's time for tougher gun control. you probably heard that debate, but is public sentiment strong enough to change the law? >> that is the big question and will it sustain? well, for that, we turn to criminal law professor frank zimmerman from uc berkeley. our first question, quite honestly, is that we have been here before. we have had presidential calls,
8:42 am
politician comes out and say it's time to do something. does anything happen in. >> no, it doesn't. and they're repeatatively quite clear. even if the majority of the american public cares deeply about this issue when a shooting happens, two weeks later, there is a very interesting and asymmetrical sort of phenomenon and diminishing importance. for the people who are not importantly connected to gun ownership and use, the average citizens, the ones who say something has to happen, the issue becomes less importance. those are the keeps of folks who worry this weekend deeply
8:43 am
about mass shootings. and who are going to worry about the fiscal clips next weekend. >> what is it about the gun lobby that has a hold on the politicians? >> the people who are gun enthusiasts who so this as a central part of their personal identities are not -- they don't have fair weather priorities. guns, even with high magazine capacities, even big guns and semi automatic guns are not only important to them on saturday, december 15th, they also important to them on january 15th and february 15th. the intensity of their commitment and the fact that they stay committed in that way means that there are real
8:44 am
penalties for elected officials whereas the people on the other side who care about guns and about a lot of things other than guns, are never going come to the single issue voter who scares the hell out of them and elected official. >> and that was the u.c. professor. we'll have more from him in the next half hour. >> he makes good points. in the meantime, find out more about our weather forecast. and we're going have sprinkles the next several days. >> yeah. >> and we get a break mid-week. you're right, today and tomorrow, looks wet in the bay area and that is not exactly t- shirt weather in the bay area. it will be warmer today than yesterday, and that is not saying much. numbers were down in the upper 40s and low 50s and everything dried up in the mid-level and toward the is face.
8:45 am
there are a few light showers around and not much. we look to ocean beach, the numbers are in the 40s and recover another 10 degrees from there and we hit highs in the mid-50s today. and some peaks and clouds and spreading south over the bay tonight and by the time all is said and done, monday night, maybe an inch in the north bay and a half an inch to a quarter of an inch in the central and south bay and the further south, the less rain and that is classic wintertime patterns. out of the door this morning, a sprinkle around and in the 40 asand the low pressure off of the pacific northwest, and that jet stream is to santa barbara and point conception. it will stay chilly this week. there is nothing to stop the cold air coming from up out of the gulf and moving south. as a result, it's going to be
8:46 am
chilly this week. and from time to time, we will get a break after the monday rain. tuesday and wednesday looks okay. the forecast highs for the day, 57 degrees in san francisco; 58 degrees at redwood city and 59 in san jose. in the extended forecast, well, after a wet monday, roll clear out and get partly cloudy skies and increase the clouds again and look at what happens on thursday, friday, and saturday and gets wet and stays wet and right past christmas, things are going to be unsettled and wet from time to time. >> and not necessarily consistency, right? >> uh -- . >> he's not ready. >> and i have never done this john. that is something i can back up. really, and the honest truth, it's hard to say if it's going -- if we're going get breaks or not and that is looking like from time to time it's going to be wet. >> 'tiz the season. >> yes. and last week, a federal judge approved a plan for a
8:47 am
court appointed director to oversee the police department. that enables opd to avoid a total take overby the feds. >> but the compliance director will have the power, significant power including the power and ability to fire a police chief. that is a big change and this morning, we had civil rights lawyer who helped work out the latest deal and he joining us and explained what the deal is about. >> what this is about, if the command staff doesn't perform and do not comply with the settlement agreement, the compliance director will have the power to remove the command staff and the can chief of police. >> what we're talking about here is police misconduct, allegations of racial profiling, unwarranted stops and searches of people on the streets, correct? >> that is part of it, identifying problem overs --
8:48 am
officers to save them from themselves and the community and prevent them from causing problems to themselves and each other before they have to be removed and that is actually a number of things and that included. >> and one person, a compliance director realistically do that and they have so many officers going in different directions. >> i think as compliance director and having the power to dismiss the staff is a tool we have not had before and we have been at this for nine years. we have been unsuccessful in getting the opd to comply with the settlement agreement. this is written almost exclusively by police officers. the current monitor team is all police and monitored by the city and there is no reason why the city can't comply with an agreement complied with elsewhere. >> and the -- continue years ago, we had a case called the
8:49 am
writers. >> yes. >> where a group of cops, four were accused of planting evidence and suspects on the street. since then, we have seen a desmation of the oakland police department due to budget cuts. they have gone from a high of 800 police officers to about 625, 35 and we have seen steady drop in the number of arrests and stops and such like. that is there a concern that the new controls on topping people, racial profiling and the added paper work are going do even less proactive police something that is where we're here on the streets. >> and that is up to the command staff to prevent that. that is their job. if they see a lack of policing, there are disciplineiry tools to use. if they don't use them and encourage them, the command staff should be disciplined
8:50 am
themselves. >> and the feds asked the oakland police department for a lot of reforms over the year and concerns they were moving too slowly. what are some of the key reforms that have not yet happened? >> the stop date of racial profiling is one. the fair and just operation of the internal affairs is another. the failure to set up an early warning system set up by the union and by us is the third. the big problem is the number of lawsuits in oakland. oakland pays out more in police conduct than san jose and san francisco combined. >> and that is ironic or interesting, yo your co-counsel is the leading person that sues oakland police department and has gotten them out of this? >> blaming john for -- . >> not blaming, but is it interesting, the twist here. >> and that is an interesting twist. blaming him or me for the number of payouts is like the
8:51 am
captain of the titanic blaming the ice. if he's not there, someone else is going to do it. >> and we're getting another update right now on this school shootings in connecticut. you're taking a live look at the a press conference where the state police spokesperson is talking. let's listen in. >> the only one speaking about this case to every member of the media. i can't restate or state heavily enough, i have not and will not put on you a timeline in this criminal investigation as it's underway. it's inappropriate, we will not do that. any sources that are putting out any kind of information like that does not come from the official investigating agency, the connecticut state police assisted by the newtown police department. we will not put that out as the investigation is ongoing [ question indiscernible ] >> i have not read it. i can tell you that. we have not put out any timeline information. we would not do that. >> a followup on that. you said that there were two
8:52 am
places inside the school -- can you confirm that the -- . >> all right, again, you are looking live at a press conference going on in newtown, connecticut, and the state police spokesperson is talking a lot about misinformation being posted on social media websites and people pretending to be the shooter or having been the shooter, he wants to rit rate -- to reiterate that none of the information, none of the information is going -- official information is going to come from media websites and people should stay tuned to the conference. we have the latest for you now on cbsfs.com. we'll be right back after this break. ♪me and you - a little rendezvous.♪ ♪that special something that will carry you through...♪ ♪that little reward for all the things you do.♪ luscious, creamy filling - combined with our slow melting chocolate -

9:18 am
out for now? >> and first and foremost, it's important to remind parents that they know their child well and they need to be listening and available for their children and they can sit down with their children and to go from-from-there a starting place. >> and i understand that. what do you -- do you have any advice for the parents? should the parents say run, stay, do whatever, what kind of advice can you give parents on kids, by the way and this is a part of life, too and this is advice. >> i think it's important to not dive directly into saying this and this and if a child is not concerned already, let's start with what they afraid of and ask them what is it you're scare side going happen.

file ions about gun . just hours after the deadly shootings in newtown, several people filed online petitions about gun patrol on the white house website and one is calling for the obama administration to immediately address the issue of gun control by way of congressional legislation and that had 50,000
9:22 am
signatures within hours and another declared it a national emergency. academic experts pointed out that mass shootings in recent years have not led to stricter gun laws, even though they start talking about that. >> and does -- that is not a shift in american opinion. the pew research poll taken after the shootings in aurora, colorado, show opinions on gun control remain unchanged. 47% said it's more important to control gun ownership and 46% thought it was the important to protect the rights of gun owners. similar, there is no shift on the opinion after the shooting of congresswoman gabby giffords two years ago w. that in mind, we turn to criminal law professor frank zimmerman from uc berkeley and we said, okay, i spoke with dianne feinstein who offered the assault ban and show can't get it back on the floor from the estimate for reconsideration. -- from the senate for
9:23 am
reconsideration. >> reporter: think that is right and i think that that is the function of the limited attention span that you are asking me to assume had changed. if there were a lot of people who cared about that, then you would not have the one-way streak of losing support if you don't oppose gun controls and not losing anything jeff you do oppose them and then it's double-edgeed sword. >> what is the argument that the gun advocates are going to be making three months from now when that senator has to make that vote? >> by then, they're the only activists in town and this is not a situation. this is a situation where what goes on in the legislature, what they call a status
9:24 am
competition. the real question, what do you love? gun control advocates or owners? and that is a question ofness with it ask asked in that way, then what the political activist said i don't know. where do i stand to gain and where do i stand to lose? listen, we don't care about the rest of the tea party or capitol gapes tax, we care about guns, and he turned to the gun control advocates and they say oh, no, we're actually
9:25 am
interested in schools, we're interested in income and equality. the senator said there are a lot of those that i can make those folks happy and there is only one way to make the gun owner's happy. >> i wonder if you remember during the presidential debate the gun issue came up. they addressed it in two sentences and as fast as they could, started talking about the need for other things like education and that is just case in point. meanwhile, coming up. >> one more look at the morning's top stories and including details into the investigation of the school shooting and international condolences from vatican city to kabul. we'll be right back. ,, ,,
